New Year in Ouadane

Wadane view from west

looking at photos

We decided to go inland for the holidays, back to Ouadane where my friend lives.
 I sketched a lot mostly young children and landscapes, I was missing sketching having been so busy with the opening of zeinart.
 I chose these two images because they reflect contrasts in the country I chose to live.
 In the fist one we see the ruins of the old city of Ouadane and not far from the minaret of the old mosque the antenna for the phone company.
In the second M'Barka a young girl doing her secondary studies at Ouadane looks at photos in a tourist computer that where taken in the village where she's originally from.
Have in mind that its only a few years since Ouadane has had access to electricity and mobile telephone. In  M'Barka's village people are still using torchs at night time weather to cook, to look at their food while eating or to move around after dusk.
